Our Gingerbread HOUSE!

Robb and the kids put together the gingerbread house yesterday. I must say they did a great job! The gingerbread house included a Pool, a gingerbread man making a snow angel, a starbust trail and lots and lots of candy! The kids also ate lots and lots of candy!!

Ahhh!!! Black Friday!!

Ahhh... Black Friday!!! I headed with a friend to the San Marcos outlet malls and the MADDNESS!!! We stood in line for 2 hours to get a gift back that included coupons (that i didn't care for) and a pj shirt! We walked around and stopped at a few stores (i didn't purchase anything) and got home at 4 am.... to get up at around 7:30am... We went to a few store and i crashed dead tired around noon... phew!! thank goodness black friday only comes ONCE a year!

Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving we traveled to San Antonio to spend time with Robb's Family. Tristan enjoyed his first thanksgiving feast a little later than everyone but enjoyed it! WE had a great time hanging out and relaxing with the family.

Noah's Class had a thanksgiving feast. We munched on traditional and non traditional dishes, and enjoyed games! Here are some neat pictures to enjoy. Noah is dress in PJ's because that day was also PJ day at the school!

UT Museum

Yesterday, Maya's class took a field trip to the UT Museum. We had a fun time exploring the different dinosaur bones and different exhibits. Maya had a great time hanging out with her friends. I asked her what was the best thing of her field trip and she said " I ate my whole turkey sandwich"

My favorite moment was when we were looking at a huge blue topaz stone in the case and she looks at me and says "look mommy everytime i jump the light in the box turns off then on"!!! All while I turn my head to see the Museum security guard flicking it on and off everytime she jumped!

I love my Maya and it's amazing to see everyday how much she is growing up!

Maya intrigued by the Hogs.

Fanscinated by all the pretty stones!

All the different scarabs! Very neat!

Typical Maya sucking on those darn fingers!





Flying dinosaur.

11 months old!!

Wow, I can hardly believe Tristan is 11 months old! Only 1 month away till his first birthday!! He is discovering new things everyday. He loves going from room to room and making messes or stirring up trouble. He loves constantly taking magnets off the refrigerator, or playing with the toys in the bathroom (and accidentally falling in the bathtub here or there). He has learned to point which i find very cute! He like to point at everything. He loves to crawl around LOVES to play outside. He is now getting his 5th tooth in and loves to bite everything! He is truely a fun baby! In this picture you can tell how long and shaggy his hair is getting!

Bus Rider!

Noah is now officially a bus rider! I had to document this momentous occasion!


Here comes the bus!!! (His first ride home)

Caught on camera!
